“This place is AMAZING. First off the food and service are incredible. But what keeps my family going again and again is the fact that they are SO sweet about medical stuff (being right by Mayo that is HUGE). I can recall several examples of the staff being supportive towards my mom who has been living with end stage cancer for years now. We go EVERY appointment and surgery scheduled in Rochester. In fact - we are going tonight!“

“This is my favorite place to eat. Food is always amazing and the service is untouchable perfect place for dinner two or even a large group. It is also a wonderful place to go for a evening out for a couple cocktails“

“we had dinner here, food & service was great!!“

“Top notch bar. I consider this the home bar because if I want to watch a game and it's not playing one of the servers, bartenders or anyone else working they will put it on for anyone that asks.

“Very clean & great service.“

“We had our wedding reception at The Castle. It was amazing. Jenna is so kind, thorough, professional and fun to work with. She did so much for us with little input from us and everyone loved our party at The Castle. Great food, awesome environment, the space was fun and 50+people at our party had a blast. Everyone was telling us how good how much they like the space, the party and the food. 100% success and all thanks to Jenna and The Castle.“

“Friendly staff. Great portions at reasonable prices. FOOD was GREAT.“

“This is the only restaurant that I have worked at that I will ALWAYS come back to. For the atmosphere, live music, the incredible staff (no, not favoring because I worked here, totally different staff), the food is consistent and the drinks- chefs kiss (Ryan is FANTASTIC)! Something about coming here is like coming home, it's very cozy and intimate! A best kept secret of Rochester for sure! I must add that the staff are seemingly genuine and you can tell they enjoy their jobs- not like other restaurants where you get a fake nice.“

“Really happy with my visit to Nile Restaurant & Café | East African Cuisine. The drinks were excellent and everything was reasonably priced. Every dish came out hot and tasted homemade. Highly recommend it and I'll be back for sure.“

“They’ve been open for about a week with a new menu. The staff was super friendly and genuine. We had the beef tenderloin appetizer (not pictured) which was delish, and our meals were shown below. Everything was cooked perfectly (I had walleye and he had a bone in pork chop)…and the mushroom risotto was EVERYTHING. We felt like things were priced on point as well. Would definitely go again.“

“I loved the brisket hash. The waitress took the time to ask the cook about ingredients to accommodate my food allergies. She remembered my special requests. and they have gluten free toast. Highly reccomend!“

“The patio could be the location for Lord of the Flies! I enjoyed the Onion Rings appetizer and Fish & Fries. The food was good but I had to cover the food with napkins because there were so many flies. I asked a server to turn up the ceiling fans to blow them away and was told that was the highest speed available. I guess that was the easiest answer because the fan was barely moving. They can do much better.“

“I love stopping at small town restaurants. This place had great pie selections and very friendly staff-exactly what you’d expect in a small Midwest town. I’m a big eater and wish the portions were a little bigger, which is my only critique. The breakfast burrito with chorizo was delicious and I would certainly come back.“

“It was my son's first time there. He ordered the hangover burger and I got the blue moon burger and she talked me into a piece of cheesecake. The burgers were top notch like always and I found new favorite place for cheesecake!! The service from the hostess to the waitress/owner were great, they are always checking in on you. I highly recommend stopping there!!“

“I visited Applebees on Marketplace today while in the area shopping and it was awesome! The place was spotless, the food was hot and delicious, and the waitress made sure we had everything we needed. The manager (i think her name was Nicole) even stopped by our table to say hi. I honestly couldn’t be more impressed! Made my day!“

“We had such a great time for my son's birthday. The staff were amazing.“

“Smaller bar & eateries are usually a rough atmosphere, and you can easily feel like you don’t belong there; NOT HERE! The food is faster than McDonald’s and less expensive for a MUCH better meal of better portions. And whether you’re staying to eat or just grabbing one cocktail and splitting, you still get treated like they’re happy you’re there.“

“#1 - Go to see the great trophies they got on the wall. Fun to see something different in decor. Staff very friendly. Food was excellent for the price. A nice drive and beautiful countryside in a small town setting. Great for Date night dinner !“

“The Mess hall Grill and Tavern is a great place to eat, drink and have some fun!! From bingo to horse racing. Bands Friday nights and Karaoke Saturday nights!! Fun times to be had by all! Great friendly staff !“

“Great place in small town Byron.
Amazing pretzel with queso dip - eat while it’s hot!
We ordered burgers and they were good.
Sidewinders as a side are twisted potato wedges.
Cold beer, pull tabs, etabs, frozen pizza to go and ice cream machine that can have booze added.
Worth a stop!!“

“Our lunch was delicious. We each had a cheeseburger and fries with a jalapeño bacon wonton appetizer. We placed our order outside the restaurant and went in and sat down. We had the place pretty much to ourselves. Lots of TVs. Okay music. We could watch our meal being prepared on a flat top in the kitchen. Everything came out quite quickly. The wonton appetizers were nice and crisp with a maple syrup and like a Freddy's frie sauce with them. ??The cheeseburgers were cooked to order (medium) and were nice and greasy as they should be fried on a flat top. The fries were good, too. It was a Monday at 1 pm. We would go there again.“

“Shoutout to Adrijana for being the real MVP of our fantasy football draft night! Serving a large, loud group of people intensely focused on their drafts can be chaotic, but she handled us like an absolute pro. She was incredibly attentive, super friendly, and made sure our glasses and plates were never empty. Incredible service from start to finish—she deserves a 10/10!“

“Hyvee Market Grille has a bang up breakfast. Out early one morning to pick up a few groceries got us stopping by the in-store cafe offering a complete breakfast menu. Skillets, omelets, classic dishes, french toast, signature sweet cream pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bakery items and so much more. Interior is a simple setup of comfy booths and padded chairs and tables. One lady manned the cafe and was busy but attentive to us and others and quite pleasant to deal with. We order The Works omelet and it was indeed that as the flavorful two egg fluffy omelet came loaded with bacon, sausage, ham, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. More of the same ingredients are piled on top. A side of hash browns and the ever so delicious sweet cream pancakes completed the meal. This breakfast was enough for two of us and we left full and satisfied. Being relatively quiet with only two tables occupied the order came quickly. Reasonable prices rounded out the meal.“

“Love Rooster’s ❤️!! Both locations!! Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and happy to be there! Family orientated during the day and main meal times. Then later at around 9/10pm the music is turned up, ppl are dancing, playing pool, darts, gambling, drinks are flowing ppl are just having a great time! They have a fun crew and they work together to provide the best, more efficient customer service as possible!! Stop in!! They are open every night until 1am 🙂“

“I was there about 10 pm last Saturday night! I came there from South Dakota to visit with some friends who were in town. The chocolate shake was delicious and the waitress was friendly and very attentive to my needs. Will definitely be back if Im in Rochester again!!!“
